Trump: 100k-200k COVID-19 Deaths Would Mean A Job Very Well Done
Tom Porter, writing for Business Insider:
President Donald Trump spent the early phase of the coronavirus outbreak in the US downplaying its likely impact
This is, of course, despite having received multiple reports from our intelligence agencies indicating that COVID-19 could become a disastrous pandemic if not handled properly.
In a press conference on Sunday, Trump sought to set new parameters for what would constitute a successful handling of the virus, saying that 100,000 or fewer deaths in the US would constitute a "very good job."
About a month ago, on February 26, he predicted that in a matter of days the total number of coronavirus cases in the US would be "close to zero." Instead, the US now has the most confirmed cases of any nation.
When you suck at your own game, just change the rules. As of today, more people have died from COVID-19 than the attacks on 9/11.
Unfortunately, the only game Trump really cares about is the rating game.
Hitherto unseen levels of sociopathic narcissism, folks. Are we great again, yet?
